Selia walked up the long stairs that led up the tower. Her small heeled boots making soft clinking noises against the stairs. One of her hand held the railing as she went up the spiraling staircase. Today she wore a white long sleeved shirt, the sleeves longer then her arms, and wore light jeans. Her white hair was put up in a pony-tail, but she had few strand that were shorter, so they framed her pale face.

She made it to the top, and attempted to open the door, but it was a little stiff, so she pushed harder, then it opened, and she stumbled forward, clenching the door so as not to fall over.

She looked about the pretty much empty room, tilting her head to the side as she started walking around it She felt something familiar, but then, not familiar at on, and like usual, she couldn't put her finger on it. She went to the window that was closed and flipped the lock over and pushed the window open, immediately feeling wind against her face, it made her fell calm. She leaned out the window cautiously, letting a small smile touch her face.

Daniel had done it! He had slipped into the school and no one had seen him at all! The boy was very proud about himself for this feat. After all he did not have any powers to help him, but it felt good to know that he could do things without powers to! The boy had walked though the school and tried to act as normal, no one really payed much attention to him at all. He was not the kind of boy that did look very special, he was not special at all. He was dressed in the normal clothes as always, he only had one set of clothes after all. He had taken a shower in the boys dorm when no one was around but that had been a quick one.

He arrived to s stair that looked like it was going up to one of the towers, my that could be fun and maybe he could see something fun from up there! He was after all just 7 years old and liked to do fun things more then be serious. He began to walk up the stairs, it was going pretty slowly since he had his backpack and short legs, but after a while he arrived to the top and noticed that the door was open. He walked inside the room and did not noticed the girl at first, but then he noticed her and his eyes widened...no someone was there alone and would most likely notice him if he did not move away right now. He was just about to back out from the room when suddenly a powerful gust of wind blew in and the door closed with a loud sound sending the little boy into the air since he was not ready for it. His heart began to beat faster and he looked at the lady with large eyes.

She smiled as the wind touched her face, calming her. At this moment, everything was better, nothing hurt, nothing was confusing. At least, until she heard a sound, as if someone was thrown back and the door slamming shut. She whipped around, careful not to hurt her head as she leaned back out of the window. She stared at the little boy, her eyes wide, confused, afraid even. She was unsure of what to do.

Then she moved quickly to the boys sad, kneeling down on her knees, and reached out with a hand, touching his head lightly, tilting her own head to the side.

"Are you alright?" She asked, her voice soft, holding a bit of kindness in it, though she was still unsure about all of this.

As the woman came closer Daniel moved away and he did not let her come to close, but he quickly walked into the wall. He watched her with big eyes....she had raised her hand...was she going to hurt him with it? He blinked a few times and then he slowly began to follow the wall away from her. "I-i-i have not done anything!" he said with a weak but rather loud voice, one could hear that he sounded a little unsure...not to say much unsure.

There was a hint of fear inside of it to, fear of getting hurt. The door was locked....he could not run away.... "P-p-please don´t hurt me.....I can go....I....just don´t hurt me....please" he was still looking at her with large eyes. He came to the corner of the room and there he stopped and looked a little like a scared cat. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. she had not done anything to him....it was just a reflex from the years living with his father, he had quickly leanred when to stay away and not....

Her eyes seemed to dim somewhat, and got very confused look in them. She watched him move away from her, and let her arm fall back, not knowing what to do exactly in this type of situation.

"P-p-please don´t hurt me.....I can go....I....just don´t hurt me....please"

"Aw... I'm not going to hurt you, young one." She said, moving a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm Selia. Whats your name?" She asked, her voice quiet, but friendly. This was her first encounter with a child so young, hopefully she was doing this right, acting friendly, but she was so confused by this.

She wondered also why he was like this, she knew for sure that all children weren't as nervous and frightened as this one seems to be.

Daniel looked a her, then he sighed a little but seemed still as if he was on his guard. "S-s-so then I have not done anything? D-d-dad always say I´m nothing but a problem....t-t-that has to be....b-b-beaten into shape" he said lowly and then he slowly sat down in the corner of the room, he looked at her as he sat down and then he pulled in his legs closer to the bodu and hugged them rightly. "So if you are going to beat me up....please do it quickly...I wont move and wont do anything...just make it quick... he was not sure if she tried to trick him so it was best to try and get it over with as fast as possible, just some pain and then it was over.

Daniel then closed his eyes and waited, he heard her tell her name. "My name is....D-d-daniel.... he said with a low quick voice, he just wanted to get it over! He was so used to this kind of things so she could do close to anything on him, he was sure he had done something bad when he just waked in like this....was this her room?

"S-s-so then I have not done anything?..."

"Oh, no, you haven't done anything wrong." She was shocked to hear that his father beat him. She rubbed her arm, wondering how her father was, she was hoping it wasn't anything like this boys, though, she had no scars, so she figured her father had been at least a bit nice, hopefully.

"I'm not going to lay a finger on you, sweetie." She smiled.

"My name is....D-d-daniel...."

"Nice to meet you then, Daniel." Selia said, shifted her position so she sat cross legged, and set her hands in her lap.

Daniel waited....but nothing came, then she said that part about not going to lay a on him and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "Y-y-yuour not?" he asked slowly and blinked a few times, then he took a few deep breathes. "Your not trying to....fool me are you?.....dad used to say that....then he beat me up anyway and....called me an idiot for trusting what he said....t-t-tthat grown ups never told the truth..."

Daniel then slowly stood up and looked at her for a moment, it looked like he gathered his courage and then he began to walk towards her, slowly....very slowly, then he stopped when he came closer and looked at her a little unsure. "your not from social service are you?....not here to take me away....?" he blinked a few times, she did not look like one of the workers he had seen before, but one could never know for sure about that really.

Selia shook her head slowly. "I'm not going to hurt you, nor trick you. Lots of grown-ups can lie, but I will never lie to you." She said. She watched quietly as Daniel walked a bit closer to her. She looked a little confused a moment at the mention of social services, and it took a moment for her to remember what that was.

"I'm not from the social services. I'm not going to take you anywhere either, especially if you don't want to go anywhere." She ran her hand through her white hair.

"Was your father a bad man?" Selia asked quietly.

Daniel looked at her as she talked and the words seemed to calm him down a little. She could guess that she was not trying to trick him or something like that. Okey he was going to take this chance, this one chance then maybe things could turn out better. "I-i-i belive you" he said with a low voice. She was not going to take him to the social service then, well he did not think they had much power on this island anyway. But one could never be to careful.

He looked at her with large eyes as she asked the question, what was he going to say? Well he had already said much so there was no reason to not say it all, the boy nodded quickly, it was a little nod but it was still a nod. "H-h-he was" he said lowly and looked down into the floor. "Mostly when he had been....drinking, then he could....he could hurt me...much. If I did not do as I was told then he.....beat me with his belt. Sometimes with other things" the boys voice was still low and his eyes did not leave the floor. Then he raised his head and looked into her eyes "I don´t want to go back there! That is why I came to this island....they wont be able to find me here." as he talked he calmly took off the backpack and placed it on the floor next to him, as he did this little feat a small part of his shirt was move up and revealed a small area of his skin, the girl could see scars, cut and blue areas that did not look to old.
